“Vehicles produce 50 per cent of these locally emitted particles, which clog up our lungs… Make love not haze. Don’t let your car engine idle,“ said the one-minute cheeky video depicting a parked van as it rocked up and down according to the hot and heavy activities of its occupants.

The funny clip, which even features an iconic sex scene from the movie "Titanic", has garnered over 17,000 views and close to 300 shares.

Many have given the video the thumbs up.

“That is so funny but still a strong message,” said a Marcelle Baum.

“Such a brilliant idea!! Proud of the client actually having the courage to approve it,” said a Catherine Leck.

It's one of the most awkward feelings ever - running into an ex for the first time since you broke up. We all know the feeling, and the inner monologue that happens as we try to have a normal conversation with them - and fail.

This deliciously funny short film hits the head on the nail in its documentation of what it’s like. It’s four minutes of LOL, OMG and haunting reminders of personal experiences that will make you wish all of life had subtitles.

China warns tourists to be careful when buying electronics in Singapore

Sim Lim Square

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a notice on their website on Wednesday evening asking Singapore-bound tourists to exercise caution when buying electronics from merchants who have received many complaints.

A Chinese national was paid $1,010 in coins by a Sim Lim Square shop after she demanded a refund.

A luxury car dealer in Singapore complained that his showroom smells like a market after an "unhappy" customer paid him Sg$19,000 ($15,200) in coins smelling of fish. "He did this deliberately because he

I absolutely love my baby son (I’ll call him Baby Z), and fatherhood has been fantastic. But, of course, there have been frustrating moments too.

The non-stop crying.

The long nights.

The pee and poop-stained clothes.

I feel like I’ve become quite the baby expert, even though my wife will probably disagree. (She’s the real baby expert.)

My day job involves working with teenagers to empower them to become both happy and successful. Interestingly, the more time I spend with Baby Z, the more I realise that he behaves in ways similar to some of my clients.

Vietnamese tourist left in tears after begging for refund at Sim Lim shop

Last week, civil activist and opposition politician Ravi Philemon posted a status to his Facebook page, calling out two videos that he said were moving quickly online.

Both happened to feature commuters on MRT trains in Singapore. One, he said, was of a teenage boy who appeared to be masturbating, while the other was of a woman hitting a young boy with an umbrella.

In his status, which received 77 likes, Ravi urged people who had seen either of the videos to refrain from sharing them. What if the subject was your brother, son or grandmother? Would you still treat the videos in the same way?

There is also the fact, astutely raised by someone who commented on his post, that the law protects minors for a reason.

In a comment in response, however, one FB user argued that it appeared that in the case of the first video, the boy knew full well that what he was doing was both wrong and shameful, and therefore it was not morally wrong to shame him.

Two Malaysian children sued Malaysia Airlines and the government on Friday over the loss of their father on Flight 370, the first lawsuit filed in the country by relatives of those aboard the jetliner that mysteriously disappeared eight months ago.

Jee Kinson, 13, and Jee Kinland, 11, accused the civil aviation department of negligence for failing to try and contact the plane within a reasonable time after it disappeared from radar while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 with 239 people on board.

When news broke yesterday about how two home owners had their Housing Development Board (HDB) flats seized for issuing short-term rentals, the Singapore social media scene went into a frenzy. Among the names floated around were Roomorama and Airbnb. Subletting websites such as Roomorama and AirBnb match tourists with local hosts of a country. They provide accommodation or lodging to visitors such as backpackers for a short time period. Airbnb’s Singapore website showed more than 1,000 rentals available while Roomorama has only 200 displayed on its page. Among those who are renting his apartment is Kelvin. He listed his 2-bedroom condominium for rental at $430 per night or $3010 per week on Airbnb. The private property is located at McCallum Street, Singapore. Kelvin has garnered 14 reviews by Airbnb users to date, with most commending him for his welcoming personality. Being hospitable to visitors of one’s country may improve its image, in turn boosting the tourism industry overall, but this is only one side of the coin. The HDB and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has an eye on its flip-side, with rules banning anyone from renting out his HDB or private flat for less than 6 months. Moreover, according to HDB’s website, subtenants must not ... The post No More Room For Home-Rental Websites in Singapore? appeared first on Vulcan Post.

The government will increase the supply of flats under the Parenthood Provisional Housing Scheme (PPHS) by adding another 800 flats, including in Bukit Merah and Queenstown.

Chinese national Miss Zhou had been duped into paying $3,000 for an iPhone 6 plus at a Sim Lim Square shop. A Small Claims court ruled that she was entitled to a $1,010 refund.

However, when they paid her on Tuesday, it was in hundreds of coins, including five and ten cents.

All these coins were then allegedly flung to the floor in a plastic bag, according to media reports.

Zhou and shop owner then started to argue, and police had to step in.

A police spokesman told Yahoo Singapore that they had been called for assistance on 28 October around 2:26 pm. After establishing that there was a dispute, police told both parties not to breach the peace, and no further assistance was required.

According to media reports, Zhou had purchased the phone on 24 September. She told reporters that she had agreed to pay $1,800 but the shop charged her an additional $2,400 for “insurance”.

They eventually convinced her to part with $3,000. She later changed her mind and filed a complaint at CASE and
